As the first woman to serve in this role at Rudin, I’m focused on restructuring and modernizing the division to foster collaboration, all while staying true to the culture that’s made Rudin a powerful force in NYC for almost a century.
Who inspires you most? What qualities do they possess that inspire you? I’m inspired by trailblazers – RBG, Serena Williams, my mother – bold, driven and ambitious, who’ve taught me I can do whatever I set my mind to.
